Research executive arrested on child pornography charges

US— Market research executive Kevin Hill has been arrested on child pornography charges in his hometown of Westport, Connecticut.

Westport Police Captain Samuel Arciola told Research that Hill turned himself in on an active warrant after an investigation by state police determined that suspected child pornography was being shared from an internet account assigned to Hill’s home in Rayfield Road.

Hill, 47, was released after posting $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court this Friday on charges of first-degree possession of child pornography.
